What is the most common form of colorblindness?
The most common form of colorblindness is red-green colorblindness, which includes both protanopia (difficulty distinguishing red and green colors) and deuteranopia (difficulty distinguishing red and green colors as well). These types of colorblindness are more common in males than females.
Which parental pair could produce females with colorblindness?
Yes. Two normal-visioned parents can produce a color blind child only if both the parents have are heterozygous. To determine the phenotypes of the parents, you will have to look at their parents.
Is colorblindness sex- linked?
Color blindness is sex linked.
Colorblindness is more common in males than in females because?
it is a genetic trait carried on the X chromosome. Males have only one X chromosome, while females have two. If a male inherits the colorblindness gene on his one X chromosome, he will have the condition. However, females would need to inherit the gene on both X chromosomes to be colorblind.
What traits like colorblindness that are carried on the x chromosome are what genes?
Traits like colorblindness, hemophilia, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy are carried on the X chromosome. These traits are caused by mutations in specific genes located on the X chromosome, such as the OPN1LW and OPN1MW genes for colorblindness and the F8 and F9 genes for hemophilia.
Is their a cure for colorblindness?

Snice the allele for colorblindness is located on the x chromosome which type of trait is colorblindness?
Sex linked
Is a carrier for colorblindness is colorblind?
Not necessarily. The allele for colorblindness is recessive. For a female, in order to be colorblind she must have to recessive alleles for colorblindness. Example: XcXc would be colorblind. XCXc would be a carrier for colorblindness, but not colorblind. For a male, because colorblindness is a sex-linked gene, he only needs one allele to be colorblind. Example: XcY is colorblind. XCY is not colorblind.
Is colorblindness non-disjunctional?
no
What are the main symptoms for colorblindness?
Colorblindness is characterized by not being able to tell apart two colors when they are the same value. Colorblindness is an x-linked trait, so it is much more common in males than females.
Are red and green the only colors you can't see while colorblind?
No, the term "red-green colorblindness" means that you cannot tell the difference between red and green. There are several different types of colorblindness; red-green colorblindness is the most common kind. For example, another kind is blue-yellow colorblindness, where a person cannot tell the difference between blue and yellow. All types of colorblindness are much more common in men.
